"This chess set looks pretty good, huh? Especially the board, all shiny and golden. Can a fake really be this good? I doubt it." Jessamyn clearly didn't believe Arabella's words.
Suri also tried to help the Winters family out, "Bella, did you see a picture of this chess set online, and that's how you spotted the difference? You can't trust pictures on the internet, you know. The pixel quality can distort the real thing."
They should always trust their own eyes. Only what they saw with their own eyes was real!
Romeo, supporting Arabella by her slender waist, said, "Jessamyn asked my fiancée for her opinion, and she just told the truth. She didn't mean any offense. She's right; this chess set does look ordinary. Can't we accept the truth these days? Do we have to flatter her?"
His words not only made the Winters family uncomfortable but also embarrassed Jessamyn and Suri.
"Romeo, do you think so too?" Enid bit her lip. Clearly, Romeo was defending this girl and even calling her his fiancée, giving her a lot of credit!
What kind of tricks did this girl use?
"Find a new nickname." Romeo looked into Enid's eyes and said indifferently, "We've only met a few times. We're not close. You're too familiar, and it can lead to misunderstandings."
Mr. Winters, seeing Romeo defend that girl time and time again, making his granddaughter uncomfortable, finally spoke.
"Enid knew that Shirley loves chess. She went through a lot of trouble and pulled many strings to get this. It's a token of her respect for Shirley. Now that it's being called a fake, it's understandable that she's upset. The Winters family wouldn't deceive people with a fake, would we?"
Sitting at the head of the table, Shirley gave a graceful smile and said, "Whether this chess set is real or fake, it's the thought that counts, Enid. But I can't accept such an expensive gift. You should take it back."
After saying this, she closed the lid, and Brodie placed the gift on the table before Enid.
It was clear. She was expected to take it with her when she left.
